Police video shows officers pulling up, and as they get out of the car they find Compton on the porch. They say, “Ma’am come outside. Come outside. Put your hands up, please. Did you call saying you shot your husband?”

Investigators are not sure of a motive. Despite that 911 call, she has pleaded not guilty to all charges. She was referred for a mental competency exam to see if she is fit to stand trial.

Ernest Jackson's family never saw it coming. “Why? Why? For what reason? What could he have done to deserve this?” sister Mary Williams said. “This has left a big gap in my family.”

Williams also wants to send a message to everyone about domestic violence. “If domestic violence is in your life. If it’s in your background. Whatever. Get help. Don’t take somebody else’s life.”
